Organic Vegetable Growing - 2nd Edition (The)

As the transition to sustainable and organic agriculture accelerates, it was necessary to bring together theoretical concepts and account for the practices integrated into the overall approach that characterizes organic vegetable cultivation.

In these times, when a growing awareness of the links between human health and environmental health is driving the rapid increase in the consumption of organic products, this book fills the gap in training and reference manuals on their cultivation. As the transition to sustainable and organic agriculture accelerates, it was essential to bring together the theoretical concepts and describe the practices integrated into the holistic approach that characterizes organic vegetable farming.

This second edition is an unprecedented compendium of knowledge and field experience, as the author's travels have taken him to every region of Quebec and to the four corners of the world. A pioneer in organic and local agriculture, he develops techniques and offers various services to farmers and stakeholders. He also works particularly hard to internationalize training (study trips, courses and internships abroad, conferences with experts from various countries).
